The Life and Times of a Monkey on a Mission
Things To Do in Japan in December
Places: Odaiba Island, Tokyo - They have a rainbow bridge leading to it, it therefore has to be a magical place. Meiji Jingu Shinto Shrine - Temples and Shrines and ancient spirits - OH MY! Jigokudani Yaenkoen - A monkey park, seriously are you even surprised I have this one on here. Plus the monkeys have their own hot springs! Golden Temple of Kyoto (Kinkaku-ji) this is one of t...
Chicha Morada – Peruvian Purple Corn
Low and behold my astonishment when walking down the beverage isle of a grocery store in Lima, Peru when I found a soft drink like bottle featuring a big cartoonish picture of purple corn on it. I laughed and thought giddily to myself, "Silly humans, corn isn't purple and even if it was who would drink...corn?!?" Well I would, eventually, after being shown that there is purple corn, I mean ...
Lost Days of Rio
It's raining again, damn! It hasn't stopped raining for days. Normally this wouldn't bother me because I like the rain, especially on a warm day where even the most mature individual is tempted to jump into a puddle. Today, today is my last day in Rio de Janeiro and I'd like to say my upset stomach was over my uneasiness of leaving a place I've called home for four months or that it's because ...
The Travel Channel: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of TV Travel
The Travel Channel is many things, but first and foremost it is a source of entertainment, not the know-it-all authority on travel. While it exposes the idea of travel and the world to many who would otherwise be content to sit in their La-Z-Boy recliner it will only give you the inspiration to get there, not the resources to explore. Alas, that will be reserved for the likes of Lonely Planet and ...
Motorcycle Mishaps or Homecoming Hindrances
The long drive home is never as exciting as the initial drive to your destination, or at least I thought. Albeit a sleepy adventure from my various vodka induced Minneapolis musings, I was ready to take on the road and head out to visit Chicago. The road however had a different plan for me that lead me away from my initial destination only to return a day later on the back of a tow truck. As I ...

New Brew Tuesday: Staropramen

 New Brew Tuesday: StaropramenType: Beer – Lager
Name: Staropramen
Price: $2
Made: Prague, Czechoslovakia
Alc/Vol: 5%

This beer hails all the way from the former Czechoslovakia, and I’m not sure if the other half of this beer was left in Slovakia when this country split into two or if it simply never had that ‘x’ ingrediant. This beer like the Mythos beer I sampled a few weeks ago has that skunky lager smell that is similar to Heineken. However, that pretty much ends where it resembles a quality drink.
Staropramen has a strong scent but a light taste that is barely there. It is sort of sweet, sort of bitter but completely bland all in all. It hints that it wants to give you great flavor but was clearly flung short of it’s goal. It almost tastes like it was missing the maltyness of a typical beer.

I give this beer a 1 out of 5 bananas, and that one is just because it’s beer. What is your take on this beer, did I fling an insult at your national drink? Let me know by leaving a comment below.
